There can be fun in to congratulate someone for guessing the correct quote you know.
We can still do that. I was just trying to move the game along; but in the future we can play by your rule if you'd rather, for fun is what we are after in these games. I'm flexible. Happy Elf Smilie

You have done nothing wrong Migsy. Not a shread of bad behaviour. A council member said go ahead and you did. We wait when we are unsure, and we can move on if we are 100% sure. We have been doing great so far.

Not everybody can be online everyday. In worst cases we might sit and wait for days. Or forever. And I can't see the problem in adding an congratulation a bit later.

It's a game! The exciting part is to see how quickly the others find what quote it is. Have fun! Go with the flow. Enjoy the madness a forum like this creates.

Obviously Floyd got offended by you and you got offended by me, and none of us meant any offence what-so ever.

This is what happens online, I am from Norway, you are from the Netherlands, he is from India, and we are comunicating in a language that isn't our own and we can't look at the other persons faces or body language to make sure we get what they are saying right.

I had a little war going with LordAelric (I think you have met him in chat?) a while ago, and it was nothing but a long line of misunderstanding. But we sorted it out and now I love the nasty little bug that he is. Wink Smilie But had he left instead of sticking around long enough for us to talk it through, I would have never have got to know him.

Eruwen, it is still your turn! Wink Smilie

Hooray!! And the Answer to Loni's quote is me! Gildor Inglorion! *thinks of a quote*

Quote:
"So much for joy, Thorin Oakenshield. You may go back to our halls in safety; all the treasure is yours - for the moment. But many are gathering hither beside the birds. The news of the death of the guardian has already gone far and wide, and the legend of the wealth of Thror has not lost in the spoil. Already a host of elves is on the way, and carrion birds are with them hoping for battle and slaughter. By the lake men murmur that their sorrows are due to the dwarves; for they are homeless and many have died, and Smaug has destroyed their town. They too think to find amends from your treasure, whether you are alive or dead. Your own wisdom must decide your course; but thirteen a small remnat of the great folk of Durin that once dwelt here, and now are scattered far. If you will listen to my counsil, you will not trust the Master of the Lake-men, but rather him that shot the dragon with his bow. Bard is he, of the race of Dale, of the line of Girion; he is a grim man but true. We would see peace once more among dwarves and men and elves after the long desolation; but it may cost you that in gold. I have spoken."

And, I suppose I can safely post the new quote right now. So here it is:

Took me most of the afternoon to find it, as it is buried at the end of a paragraph in "The Silmarillion" Chapter 17, Of the coming of the Men Into The West. Beor spoke these words to Felagund, who was quizzing him about the arising of Men and their journies.

Hmm. Now I can't seem to be able to find a good enough quote. I just picked this one randomly!

Quote:

"The days are dark, and there is no hope for Men, for the faithful are few. Therefore I am minded to try that counsel which our forefather Earendil took of old, to sail into the West, be there ban or no, and to speak of the Valar, even to Manwe himself, if may be, and beseech his aid ere all is lost."

Okay , they are lines from the Lay of Leithian about the song contest between Sauron and King Felagund as presented in The Silmarillion in the chapter entitled 'Of Beren and Luthien'. I just chose lines other than the starting ones, which I thought would be too easy; instead my lines were too hard. Though if you google my first line you would find 106 entries, the third one of which is this P-T thread. Elf With a Big Grin Smilie
